Depends how you examined it -- the swap space will be a separate partition
(with no mounted filesystem) and not show up in `df` or `du`.

Since suspend to disk ("hibernate") requires swap, I'm pretty sure we should
recommend it by default for workstation. In order to make this as close to
100% reliable as possible, this really should be as big as RAM -- but in
practical use (I dunno, 99% of the time?) it only needs to fit what's
actually used so can be much smaller.
